Road Tripping Around the South End of the Island

On Monday morning Matthew and I went around the southern half of the island exploring.  For those of you that have asked:  Yes Guam is a tropical paradise!  It is the perfect place for an adventurous, young couple that loves to explore!  Matthew and I are anxious to get out and go hiking, snorkeling, swimming and much more around the island!  Here are some pictures that we took on our trip.

Most of the beaches here have a short sandy area then coral all in the water so you have to wear water shoes.  There are sandy spots that you can hang out in though.

I thought this was so cool.  Its an island of coral that a tree has grown on!


This is a War Memorial right off the base and it is where a lot of chicken and rosters hang out.  The smaller one in this picture was ruthless!  He ran straight at me when I was trying to take the picture.  Who would have thought I would be scared of an animal so small I could kick it away.  But man did I book it back to the car!  I guess I was in his/her territory or something.

Ignoring the power lines and road, this looks a lot cooler in person.  Basically this is the mountainous region of the island, the part that Matthew and i are going to work up to when we hike.


Beautiful right!?  See what I mean:  tropical paradise!

This is a memorial site on top of one of the mountains.  We will eventually be able to hike up there and get better pictures.

Right, right!!!  :)

The island out there is a big tourist attraction but Matthew and I are going to go out there for at least one weekend and check it out.  It is supposed to have a lot to do.  



Here we are, looking out over the southern part of the island and into the Pacific Ocean.

A lot of the roads were like this on our drive, winding and curving going up hill and down hill.  The speed limit was basically 35 the entire time. 

A bridge that we came across in a small town down south.

A closer look at that island I mentioned earlier.

Matthew thought this was a really cool rock.  What does it look like to you?  Matthew thought it looked like a bear.

A stop along the way where we could sit on the rocks and watch the tide roll in.


Those lines in the terrain are the roads that we took to go up the hills and around the island.

A blue crab!  These are seen all over the island here. 

I have been spoiled the past few days with Matthew having leave and being able to spend every day with me.  We were able to take a tour around the south end of the island.  We have to save the north end for another weekend when we have time.

long lost days and couch beds

So I have not been keeping up with this in the past few days considering I have been pretty busy. Thus I am going to do some quick over-views of the past few days so that I can get myself to bed. I haven't been sleeping all that well for a while now and I need to get my beauty rest. On Sunday Matthew and I went back to Grace Assembly (our old/home church) for the late service. We wanted to go back to Grace since we are doing the mission trip through them and they were having a young adult meeting after church. The young adults meeting was pretty great. We went to Forks Cafeteria in downtown Wake Forest and had a room to ourselves reserved. I love getting everyone together. There are always great conversations. After we ate we had a little talk about getting young adults going again and about this new adopt a school program that they wanted us to get involved in. I am feeling pretty siked about the adopt a school program because it is with a middle school and we would get ...

To Start Again

Hello everyone! I know, I know, it has been a REALLY long time since I last posted anything here.  We have since been in Great Lakes, IL for a little over 2 years now and I feel like we have made ourselves a comfortable home and extended group of friends that are like family in the area.  But of course, like true Navy fashion, and God's design for life, nothing goes according to plan. I thought here in Great Lakes there would be little to no chance of Matthew ever getting deployed. God had a different plan.  Long story short, he is now deployed overseas and has been for almost 3 months.  He will be back sometime around May 2019 (that's about 10 months total). I've been having a lot of thoughts about how my days and plan are escaping me and I have trouble remembering what I've did yesterday let alone last week.  And so, I've decided to try and take back up on the blogging.  Hopefully it will be therapeutic for me and as well as help me when I want to ...

worst monday ever! (5/24/10)

So as my title says, last Monday was one of the worst Mondays that I have had in a long time. It started off early in the morning, 7:30 am, and if you know me then you know that is not a good time of morning for me to be waking anyway. But that had little to do with the bad day. I had to drive up to Louisburg to get my mom's prescription from her doctor's office because she was in SC with my Nina. Nina had been in the hospital since Thursday with complications that they could not quite pinpoint. So I set out early to get the paper that would allow me to get the prescription filled so that I could meet my Aunt at 10:30 when she was going to leave for SC. About half way through my journey to the doctor's office my car started making weird noises and shaking slightly. I called Matthew with a slight air of laughter in my voice and told him that if I broke down that he would have to call in late to work. Mind you I did not think anything of it because didn't think ...
